Pretty when I lie

(Intro)

(I know I'm pretty when I lie)

(거울 속에 웃는 나, fake smile in my eyes)

(But hmm...)

(Do you know that I am more pretty without it?)

Let’s see it!

(Verse 1)

너는 항상 말했지,

“우린 달라, but it’s fine”

너의 세상은 너무 밝아

내 그림자는 항상 behind

말을 삼켜, 숨을 참아

너가 원하는 내가 돼

Love tastes sweet but burns like wine

Every kiss another lie

네 손은 따뜻했지만

말은 늘 차가웠어

You loved the version I created

Not the girl I really was before

(Pre-chours)

조용히 무너져 가는 밤

네 이름이 비처럼 와

I learned to smile through the pain

’Cause you hated when I cried

(Chours)

I’m pretty when I lie, when I lie to you

네가 만든 꿈에 갇혀서

I’m pretty when I lie, but truth hurts

거울 속 난 울고 있어

You’re still up there in the sky

I crawled out just to be alive

I was pretty when I lied

Now I’m real without you

(Post-chours)

Lie-lie-lie, say I’m fine

거짓말이 나를 빛나게 해

Lie-lie-lie, every time

But I lose myself again

(Verse 2)

너의 친구들 웃음 속에

난 투명해져 갔지

너의 기준, 너의 rule

I was never enough, you see

사랑은 왜 이렇게

한쪽만 더 아파야 해

You called me “too much”, “too deep”

So I learned to feel less, be weak

(Verse 3)

네 세상은 black and white

내 마음은 too many colors

You wanted silence, I wanted fights

Different souls, different borders

이별조차 너는 calm

난 폭풍처럼 무너져

You walked out like it was nothing

I was left with words unspoken

(Pre-chours)

조용히 무너져 가는 밤

네 이름이 비처럼 와

I learned to smile through the pain

’Cause you hated when I cried

(Chours)

I’m pretty when I lie, when I lie to you

네가 만든 꿈에 갇혀서

I’m pretty when I lie, but truth hurts

거울 속 난 울고 있어

You’re still up there in the sky

I crawled out just to be alive

I was pretty when I lied

Now I’m real without you

(Post-chours)

Lie-lie-lie, say I’m fine

거짓말이 나를 빛나게 해

Lie-lie-lie, every time

But I lose myself again

(Interlude)

침묵 속에 남은 말

“I deserved better”

Whispered to myself

Soft... but stronger

(Bridge)

네가 사랑한 건 나일까

아니면 내가 연기한 role

I blurred my lines, crossed my soul

Just to keep you whole

But now I choose the ugly truth

Over pretty lies with you

(Final chours)

I was pretty when I lied, yeah I know

But I’m beautiful when I let go

네가 없는 이 세상에

처음으로 숨 쉬어

You can keep your perfect view

I’ll keep my broken truth

I was pretty when I lied

Now I’m free, and that’s my shine
